The Create-An-Invention Workshop challenged kids to imagine a creation and, then, build it. Kids constructed their invention using familiar household items such as cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, and egg crates. The Hagley Patent Office then gave the young inventors patents for their inventions.

Parents and children also spent the day exploring the Science Fair. Scientists and science groups conducted science demonstrations and displayed information on their projects

At the Tinkering Tables, children took apart appliances, machines and other discarded items such as computers, telephones, and radios. Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County donated the items used at the Tinkering Tables.
